Chapter 712: Bright Flowers

Arsenal claimed a crucial victory, one that almost put Arsenal on the top of the league title; There is a certain amount of Chelsea's reservation in this, but it is the three points at home that are the most important thing for Arsenal. Moreover, Manchester United lost in the Manchester derby in this round of the game, which also means that Arsenal are now six points ahead of Manchester City and Manchester United by seven points, with only three rounds of the league left, Arsenal is just around the corner to win the title.

It can really be said that Arsenal's situation before this round of the league is really embarrassing, although they are still the biggest favorites for the league title, but it must be admitted that Arsenal must withstand the pressure if they want to win the championship, although they have some leads, but they are not allowed to make any mistakes at all.

After this game, Arsenal basically locked up the victory in the league, as long as they won the 36th round, then Arsenal could win the league title two rounds in advance to complete the third consecutive championship. For Arsenal, the league task has been thoroughly accomplished, and they have achieved an incredibly satisfying result and a great goal for the Gunners to pursue this season.

The Arsenal players are happy right now, and the pressure has been put on them by a series of mistakes, and the Arsenal players have even self-destructed and been in an awkward position. But now Arsenal didn't let the opportunity slip out of their hands, they didn't continue to slump at this time, Arsenal seized the opportunity and proved themselves with their resilience and perseverance.

The league still belongs to Arsenal, and the Gunners are now in the final countdown to winning the title; Maybe Arsenal will make some small mistakes on the way to winning the title. Perhaps Arsenal have had some trouble this season. The strength of their competitors is also really good. But at the end of the season. Arsenal are still the strongest team in the league and they are still able to secure the league title for the third time in a row.

Arsenal's players are happy now, the depression of the previous period is long gone, and the current Gunners are full of smiles on their faces; Only a win is the best option to boost morale, and Arsenal are getting closer and closer to the title after such a victory, and the Arsenal players are naturally extremely proud at this time.

The atmosphere at the Kearney training base is very good, and Xiao Qing is even playing with his teammates when he is relaxing in training; Although it is true that there will be another encounter with Chelsea soon; This time Arsenal will also be at home, but this is the second leg of the Champions League semi-final. Although it is a headache to meet such an opponent one after another, the players of Arsenal are more looking forward to it.

The league treble, the Champions League treble, this is what Arsenal is pursuing now, they seem to have basically completed a great goal this season, the league treble is within reach, and now Arsenal only needs to play well in the Champions League, which is also their last battlefield this season, and it is also an extremely critical and important game.

Arsenal lost 1-0 to Stamford Bridge in the first leg against Chelsea, and Arsenal are indeed in a relatively disadvantageous position. An embarrassing situation with a good chance of being knocked out at home. This is definitely not a lie, although Arsenal have just won Chelsea in the league. But anyone could tell Chelsea had reservations.

Arsenal have given their all in the league and Chelsea have had a wide range of rests, so it is clear that Chelsea are looking to rest on their leisure and will concentrate on the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, and they are also planning to win Arsenal and advance to the Champions League final.

At this time, Chelsea is confident, because Chelsea's performance after the change of coach is really good, because the current state of Chelsea is also at a relatively peak moment; This, combined with the fact that Chelsea now have a one-goal lead over the scoreline, gives them more initiative in the second leg.

Think about it, Sun Wukong, who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, was lawless, but in the end he was crushed by Rulai under Wuzhi Mountain? No matter how rampant the voles that steal food, once they meet a cat, won't they lose their souls? From mythological novels to the animal world, no matter how strong people and animals are, they will not be "cattle" forever, just because they have not met a nemesis.

Drogba's fatal blow left Arsenal now with only hope for a second-leg clash at home; Bad luck and so on, but it would be a mistake to use this as an excuse for the loss, and Arsenal did lose in the first leg, and there is no need for any reason, it was a complete defeat.

Arsenal's dazzling short-pass infiltration has long been in full swing, but despite this, Arsenal still has a nemesis in the eyes of many fans; Chelsea and Drogba, for example.

When Jose Mourinho led Chelsea to build an iron-blooded Blues that boasted of European football, the Premier League teams at that time may have suffered a lot, and Arsenal clearly did too. It can be said that in previous seasons, Arsenal faced Chelsea with the upper hand, especially Drogba, who repeatedly broke Arsenal's defense. Chelsea are Arsenal's nemesis, and Arsenal are basically powerless against Didier Drogba, which is not news, and many people can know this.

Although Arsenal seem to have come to an end in the last two seasons, when Italian Roberto Di Matteo continued the magic of Stamford Bridge's Champions League win this season with an almost seamless defence with the Blues; If you ask where the essence of the Blues is Kebasa, there is no doubt that the first point is to freeze Xiao Qing, and the second point is to let Drogba sprint.

In the first leg of the money matchup, Chelsea's defensive thinking was clear - to stop Arsenal from penetrating the middle and forcing them to the wings. The back three of Frank Lampard, Cheeres and Mikel were undoubtedly key to the tactics, and they formed a huge defensive barrier in the middle with two centre-backs, John Terry and Gary Cahill.

The heart of the back three is Mikel, who often moves forward to press Arteta in the game; At this time, Frank Lampard and Meleres will immediately stay in the middle, and the distance is close, so that Arsenal cannot penetrate the middle and can only pass the ball to the wing. Chelsea's strategy proved to be very successful, Xiao Qing was difficult to form a threat in the front, and could only keep retreating to the midfield to get the ball, and this did greatly affect Arsenal's tactics, especially when Xiao Qing could not form too much of a threat, Chelsea could also start their defensive counterattack.

Looking at the whole game, Chelsea's rationality, discipline and tactical execution are amazing, after achieving the desired result, there is no doubt that in the decisive battle at the Emirates Stadium, Chelsea who tasted the sweetness will definitely continue their tactics, and even they can go further at this time, you must know that Chelsea itself is very good at defense, and the bus tactics are not new to them, as long as they can advance to the Champions League final, then Chelsea is the final winner, as long as they can win the Champions League, Then Chelsea are the best team!

Arsenal's players were mentally prepared to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League and are now just one step away from the final, and there is no doubt that both teams will be pulling out all the stops to win the game. For Arsenal, they are hoping to reach the final and win the treble, and with Chelsea now in control, they will certainly be hoping to make history even further.

Both teams have good reasons to win, with both Arsenal and Chelsea preparing for the second leg. It is also a very good opportunity for Xiao Qing and his teammates, although the team is indeed one goal behind in the big score, but Arsenal at home is also carrying the high morale of the league to win three consecutive championships, and Arsenal now has more fighting spirit.

'Didier Drogba was key to Chelsea's victory over the defending champions!' This was also what a lot of the media talked about after the first leg; Although Arsenal now have full confidence to win at home, they can't be overly proud, because Chelsea are very good, because Arsenal also has a headache.

In addition to scoring goals, Warcraft can also perfectly interpret how a center forward who suppresses the opponent's entire defense line should play. Whether in attack or defence, Drogba is always in key positions. Although Arsenal was well aware of Drogba's threat, it still couldn't stop Drogba from moving forward. Faced with a very different style of football from Arsenal, Warcraft has always made Arsenal uncomfortable. Over the years, Chelsea have been the only team to have come out of favour against Arsenal, and this is largely due to the presence of Didier Drogba and the 'violent' style of play he represents.

So it is definitely necessary to maintain enough confidence in the second leg, but the Arsenal players also need to be fearful; Arsenal have already suffered some hardships in the first leg, and they also need to remember it for a long time at this time, Drogba's horror Arsenal knows that at this time Arsenal has no reason to relax.

For the Gunners, if they lost the first leg, then the second leg is naturally not to be lost; Arsenal now need to tighten the limits on Didier Drogba defensively; But Arsenal needs to open up the situation in the offensive end, and a big reason for the defeat in the first leg is the weakness of the Gunners in the offensive end, so the embarrassment of the second leg cannot be repeated!
